Biography
Working from text, archives, and audio files, Dora Garcia narrates both real and fictional stories to question and shake up society. Across a multifaceted body of work (video, writing, performance and installation), she challenges the traditional relationships between artworks and spectators. Her scenarios combine fiction and reality to the point of confusion, thus creating unique situations that are both intellectual and playful, which rely on an active, and sometimes obligatory, participation of the public in the creation, activation or destruction of the work.
Born in 1965 in Valladolid (Spain), Dora Garcia now lives and works in Oslo. She represented Spain at the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011.
